Hi,

I've made a new map called Temple Studios. It's based on a movie studios that has come to life. It has a story running through the map and the secrets, and has a lore never seen before on Jail.

Games:

In-cellblock random climb (minigame)
Shoot Out (max 4 players)
Dynamite Maze
Ice Jumprope
Ice Breakfloor
Team Hospital Break-Race (max 10 players)
Space Surf
Space Dropdown
Egyptian Death Run
Egyptian B-Hop
Egyptian Climb
Fruit Eating Contest (max 2 players)
Ride the horse

2 exclusive story secrets, and a working cinema.



It's been tested by like 15 people now, and is ready for a full 52 person server.

As it hasn't been tested on a full server in real gameplay yet, I'd suggest we are prepared for, and leadership pre-condone, a quick re-balance/bugfix version to be released within a week. This way, after balance issues or whatever are found, I can work with the tech team to get a new version up asap, and that version can be released to the wider Jail community.

Now is the time I'd like you to post all of your positive and negative feedback for leadership to see.

If you'd like to look around the map, please get in contact.

Well, the default cell block game is marker race now, I'm trying to improve that.

Better idea, don't give ct's the space to do a marker race. Also, it will still be a marker race, just up steps instead of on the ground.
 
This map was super fun to test out and its seriously one of a kind. Just going to add some suggestions that were mentioned during the play testing:

-Breakfloor shouldn't break completely until all disappears. There should be at least one or two blocks that remain to prevent killing all T's.

-The jump rope could use a touch up since it was pushing players around

-Surf should allow multiple attempts rather than after you fail twice (i believe) you get sent to loser box. Maybe add a button that allows Warden to choose insta fail or multiple attempts?

-Climb needs a recall button

-Theater needs a reduction on volume

-The secret behind surf needs some fixes since it spawned us outside of the mist room where the gun is.


Overall the map feels great. I also wanted to suggest adding a couple more games that allow Warden to play at the beginning with all T's, such as an obstacle course or 9 Colors.

Non solid rope with a trigger_hurt or trigger_teleport inside. 100% best way to make a spinning bar that murders people (or doesn't).
 
Good map :), I definitely like it more than your other map, ba_jail_prison_m, and I would love to see it in the server. I love the Western theme of the map, and the unique games as well as cinema and secrets within some of the cinema productions are awesome and definitely bring it out from other maps.
 
It definitely is a good map. Its very unique hard to rebel, And when i was talking with matz they werent going to be any gun secrets which is something that i think made prison_m a easy rebel map. I have never seen anything like this map and would love to see it in the map pool!
 
You get a + one from me, we need more maps like this, with strong and original themes. The map is a huge step forward from prison_m (which is still a great map) and will allow a somewhat new style of gameplay where we can actually play games instead of a rebellion breaking out. Other people seem very positive about it so far so let’s hope it goes further and it gets implemented. Kappa
 
Haven't tested the map out myself but it looks very unique and fun from the preview video. Haven't seen a Jailbreak map like this before and would love to play it on the servers!
 
I don't want to play it. The trailer made it clear it's 2spooky4me.

But on a real note, it looks really cool from the preview, i like that you stuck to a theme and the lore adds something new to jailbreak. Would love to see it play on the servers.

Also, if there's a sign up or something where you get to try out new maps, can someone pls tell me where I can find it. I would love to try out these new maps.

Thanks for hosting the testing with CRC, I found a lot of bugs. In regards to your suggestions:

Added that feature to breakfloor.

Surf is a timed event, you're allowed to fail the first section as many times as you want within the time limit. If surf is played outside of this, timed events wouldn't function unfortunately.

Recall added to climb.

Theatre volume reduced. (may need a little more, we'll see)

Jump rope fixed thanks to RDK.

The secret does spawn you out of the mist, yes. If you've read The Drowned Man posters you'd know what the director wants you to do in there. If you make it to the mist you're rewarded with access to the gun.

Unfortunately in terms of more rooms or games or anything. CS GO has a max map size of 150mb (tiny right?) If you're map goes over this no one can play it. I'm on 148mb rn. Thankfully Studios has 3 more games than Prison M, plus a couple mini games, and a cinema instead of an unused disco. Prison M does wear a little thin after a full 60 mins, this map should last well through the whole hour.

As to others comments, thanks for being so nice. Prison M was really a test of experimental mechanics, forcing hard work from CTs and Ts to keep their head above water, and not go 16:0 or 0:16. This map should focus more on theme, feel and story, with fun games and experiences over a need for 100% concentration and battling to make it through the round. We'll only truly know if it's a CT sided map in the server though.

Thanks for your help, I appreciate you looking it over.

I'd like to hear more input from people on the map if we can.

It's already been up for a week, Custom/Epic signed it off as you were away, then Mily uploaded. It got mixed reviews at first because bugs and map exploits were found and often abused.

I then fixed these bugs, and Mily uploaded the fixed version. This new version then started crashing the server on map change (as did another new map, Lost Planet or something). Maybe because the map was now too big?...Drew fixed it the same day anyway by making it a fast DL.

It's now running fine and getting generally positive reviews.

Lots of our members have played on it on the server if you're still interested in their reviews. I'm sure any of Crc, Jacko, Dom, Matt, Corrupted, Apex, Epic, Yippi, Yokai would be able to help you here.
